Check your ground wire to the frame...Could be dirty. Also clean the wires on the battery if they are dirty (scrape them with a knife to get a nice shine).

Check all 3 nuts on the starter and make sure their tight

I'd kind of say you need to replace the starter. If it was a bad ground or bad connection, you wouldn't even get the click the times it doesn't start, you'd just get nothing. The click sounds to me like the starter is on it's way out, fast. It's a pain in the ass to change though, so give everything else a try.
